Brainstorms
One of Daniel Dennett's most famous books. In this book, Mr. Dennett makes a claim on how the human brain and mind function, taking ideas from both a deterministic perspective, and ideas associated with free will. When people are faced with an important decision, the mind auto-generates a series of possible outcomes for the final decision, many which are subconsciously rejected until there remain but a few logical decisions. These few and final decisions are then decided by the individual. -
